For instance, a lower or capital case of a Greek letter. The symbols with a dot next to them unlock variants of that symbol by double or triple-tapping the key. By implementing a system of columns and layers, he was able to get 6+ symbols per key, giving a much greater breadth of symbols than just 16 keys and a shift layer. While the most straightforward approach would be to pick 16 or 32 symbols for the board, felt that didn’t do the wide range of Unicode symbols justice. Hardware-wise, the Mathboard is a 4×4 macro pad, but the special sauce is in the key set implementation firmware. With more than 80 “of the most commonly used mathematical operators” and the entire Greek alphabet, the Mathboard could prove very useful to a wide number of disciplines.
thought there had to be a better way and developed the Mathboard. For those of us with science and engineering backgrounds, opening the character map or memorizing the Unicode shortcuts for various symbols is a tedious but familiar part of writing reports or presentations.
